Bad Experience – Went there and asked if they had 3 Floyds Gumball Head, the clerk told me it was out of season (which I found odd given that I had bought a six pack about a week ago). I brought up two six packs, one Half Acre and one Raspberry Wheat. After waiting in line, the clerk says "Oh sorry, I cant sell you that Half Acre. Its not in the system." So, they stocked the cooler with beer that had a price tag, but couldnt sell it to me. What a joke. Needless to say I walked out and wont be back (and btw went two blocks do... read more

GREAT family owned store on Addison!!! – By far, the most relatable store I've been to in Chicago. Afler living here for several years, this is a PRIZE in the neighborhood. The absolute BEST wine and beer selection I've seen in a long time. Staff is very in tune with "todays" knowledge of selection from the most widely consumed to the most extravagent tastes.

Never had a bad recommendation – We tried to hate this place - mostly because we knew behind the scenes sh*t...but really, it rocks. We've not once, not never had a bad wine recommendation - they have a great selection and can customize to suit any mood (think that really great movie rental place when the guy ate, slept, and breathed movie and could tell you any movie for any mood - if you ever got that lucky in life - then make it the same for wine/beer). The beer is ever changing and ever awesome. They have some fabulous b... read more

Unassuming corner store achieves vintage appeal alongside an outstanding beverage selection. – In Short A burgundy awning is easily overlooked along this section of Addison. Through a corner entrance a small space is crammed, floor to ceiling, with racks of wine, spirits and beer, organized loosely by style, region and price. One wall is fitted with coolers carrying ready-to-drink chilled whites and beers. A cut-through to the adjacent space is a tasting room and deli, featuring attractive vintage lighting and weathered raft... read more

Great selection, helpful staff, good prices – Went in here to scope the beer selection, and ended up spending 50 bucks! Excellent selection of obscure beers from all over the world. Asked the guy for help with a particular brewery, and he was pleasant and helpful, and possessed excellent taste. The prices are right, too; the beer is priced far below what you would pay at the nearby Lush on Roscoe Street.
